The question is basically the title.
It’s very hit-and-miss. But mostly miss. That picture of a cat hiding under wrapping paper taunts me.
It doesn’t seem to be related to what instance the content is on. But I haven’t been able to find any pattern.
Is there an alternative (for non-instance-admins) that works more reliably?
Why can’t someone just make a frontend that shows the voters?
They can and it has been done, IIRC Friendica or something does that…? (Correct me if I am wrong.)
Even on Lemmy, community mods can see who voted how on which posts and comments.
Good question. If you fuck with the more microblog side of fediverse, votes literally appear on your posts as likes. Now that I think about it that’s a viable alternative, OP. you just can’t browse lemmy the same way, you have follow comms as if they’re topics to get them to appear on your feed.
I should see if I can get wafrn to talk to lemmies and piefeds.
